I'll be there as long as I get my bodywork done to the conquest. I refuse to show that car at that big of a meeting without it looking decent enough.

I'm always disappointed at the number of DSMs at these things... Would be nice to have a bunch of you roll in together.

Sorry but unfortunatly <IMHO> it seems like some DSM'ers think they are too good to show up at any of MNSC's events?

Yes there are many people of which I don't see eye to eye with over at MNSC, but there are some of the same right here as well.

It's just a car.......people are people....driving fun is driving fun...RELAX!!!

I've been to a couple MNSC events and it was fun seeing what other people are doing with all kinds of different makes and models, and most people I met were ok?

I'll try to stop out in my not so superclean stocker 1G if time permits.

Next one hopefully the car will be back up and running. I'd normally take the Bike this weekend but it's the Wife's Grandmothers Surprise Birthday.

Ill be there if you guys wanna meet up around that area like Matt D. said and roll in together

98gstaherns · 05-03-2006

**CornFed2.4** · 05-03-2006

we have to think of a place 2 meet up maybe somewhere off of weaver lake rd or krispy cream i dont know the area to well someone else can chime in please

98gstaherns · 05-03-2006

I dunno..Matt D i see you in roseville wanna meet on the way there? I really don't know where this place is! lol

Matt D. · 05-03-2006

I help run the show so I can't exactly meet up with anyone beforehand. It's easy to find, just look in the thread that Curt linked. There will be signs posted on the road when you get near the park.

Oh didnt know you helped run it but I will try to organize something then. I just kinda took your direction and ran with it

**JET** · 05-03-2006

I don't think that we think we are better, it is just that most of the cars there are rice. Most DSM'ers are into rice. It is still a good time and you do see some nice cars though. I have been to 2 or 3 of them and had fun.

Bode · 05-03-2006

I am planning on going, hoping to bring some friends. So I hope to see some of you there.

I disagree. The number of clean and tastefully modified cars far outweighs the rice. Last year at this very meet the only aluminum wing in sight was on Jason's 400+whp Eclipse.

How many hondas were there? Primered body kitted CRX - Pretty sure I saw a few outrageous wings..RX-7 that had everything chrome plated.. his engine bay was 99% chrome. Waste more money please. It was interesting to see none the less. There is plenty of untastefully modded cars there. HOWEVER - it was a good time and it was fun checking out the cars worth looking at. I didn't enjoy getting bitched at by someone for "peeling out" in my stock AWD dsm. Last time I checked, you couldn't break the tires loose if you tried in a stock AWD dsm.

Jasons car has over 515 whp by the way :P Yes he still has the ricer wing!

The upside is that the food was good, LOTS of people show up, and you get to see some shit that isn't a DSM or 3kgt.

Another reason DSMers don't go is because we don't really make show cars. We build cars to go fast and some of us just don't care what it looks like. As long as it's fast, it doesn't matter.

Whether your tires broke loose or not doesn't matter, excessive acceleration in the name of showing off at these events is what makes them so unfavorable in the public/police's eye and does nothing but get our gatherings cracked down on even further. If you are innocent of the above too then I appologize and I'm sorry you were confused for someone else.

I was one of the only DSM's there and even if i did WOT, I had stock exhaust. Truthfully, I didn't even hit boost. No need to show off when my car was parked in the parking lot away from all of the cars. I was there to look at cars, not show off. It was probably SOMEHOW one of the civics / crx's mistaken for my dsm. lol, how can you do that....!?

Tauni · 05-04-2006

I'd go if it wasn't in Maple Grove

My truck won't make it that far.

curt_gendron · 05-04-2006

Yeah, I'll have to agree, there are some riced out cars that show up to this event, but they are in the minority. Sometimes you get to see some very nicely modded cars there. Plus there are so many cars there, who cars if there are some ricey ones. MNSC meets are pretty laid back and it doesn't matter if you have a show car or not, just come on out. If you don't want to eat, its free. And for $5 you can get burgers/brauts/chips/pop.

And Tauni, this MNSC meet isn't any farther away then LSE is. LOL.

later,
Curt

That's all I'm concerned about anyway, if it isn't fun, why waste your freetime on anything else if you don't need to?

Where are we meeting then, so we can roll on in together?
